Sounds like the crankcase vent was frozen.

It definitely gets driven, I travel for a living. I'm hoping to be able to afford a built motor and turbos in a couple of years. I may tear this one down and check it out when I pull it out. So far though, it uses a quart of oil every 8,000 miles, but it's always done that and I think it's...

By the time I finally get around to making the car just the way I like it, why on earth would I trade it off and start over? I've got a 2011 with MCS coil overs all around, a bunch of whiteline and BMR suspension parts, cobra jet intake, GT500 brembo brakes, T-56 magnum trans, and a few other...

Is there any word about the compatibility of the 2015 heads with the older coyotes?

Maybe the subs will make it sound like it's got an aftermarket exhaust.

I used to have an old beater car that used oil pretty bad. Every time I needed to stock up on oil to dump into it, it was time to change the oil in my better vehicle. I figured if that oil was good enough to come out of the good car, it was good enough to go into the beater. Lol

Remove the transmission cross member and rotate down a little?

The only experience I have with this sort of thing is in rock crawlers. When it comes to off roaders, when tire size is increased the air pressure has to be dropped to get the tire to have the desired footprint. With a bigger tire, the weight of the vehicle is spread across a lot more area. For...

If it's been that long, it wouldn't hurt to flush it all out either way.

With an independent rear the added CV joints each sap a little power, and the added friction of the extra seals and boots also contribute to loss. This combined with added drivetrain weight all add up to an increase in parasitic loss. These are all pretty widely accepted principles.. My...

It's not fantasy that an IRS has more loss than a live axle. Granted it's just a few percent, but a few percent adds up on 400 hp. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it any less true.

RWHP is very much more important to a car's performance than how much it makes at the flywheel. So if ford cares about the car performing well, they need to care about how much of the engine's power makes it to the wheels.

Don't believe irs has more loss than a live axle?

They have to bump the power a decent amount just to offset the extra loss of the independent rear end. Otherwise the new car will put less power on the rollers than the current one.

It's really not hard to get a big displacement sport bike over 200 hp. Why would you doubt it?

I remember when we thought motorcycles with 100 hp were just insane. Times change and so does perspective. I've got a bike making north of 200 hp and would love to elevate that number. Will the gt make 500+ for 2016? Probably not, but I wouldn't say never.

I figure there's only one way to see how much the chain is worn, and that's to measure it. If you want to know if your timing is still on the money, pull the cover and check to see where everything's lining up. You could put it on a dyno and see if the power is looking about right.

If it means anything, I have a coyote with 185,000 miles on it that doesn't seem to be anywhere near the point of needing rebuilt. The only engine work I've done is a set of spark plugs and coil packs.

I'm just using an sct from bama. I called them up and talked it over with them and they swear there is no such adjustment, they also say the ECM doesn't care what the transmission ratios are. I ended up getting the 'we'll look into it and get back to you' line and haven't heard anything since.

I put a magnum in my car and when I tried to get the ratios updated in the tune, I was told that can't be done. I have read that it can, is there something I can tell the tuner to convince them to do it?

I just read the link, and I see what you're saying. DOM vs chrome-moly tubing is a hotly debated topic among a lot of builders. Chrome-moly definitely has its place, but it's not always the best choice. Ultimately this deserves a lot of research and thought, a cage is something that could save...

If you use chrome-Moly tubing, you need to make sure your welder is familiar with the post weld heat treating that is required. Otherwise the heat affected zone of the weld is brittle. In my opinion, you're better off with a slightly heavier wall dom tubing than you are with chrome-moly if...

Definitely pull the cover. There's nothing complicated in there. If I were betting, I'd say your pinion has come loose. Could be several things though.

I average about 60,000 per year. I travel for a living, it's not uncommon to get in the car and drive it 800-1000 miles in a day.

I have 147,000 miles on a 2011 coyote mt. The car has an off road x pipe, a Barton shifter and bracket, and a tune. The only work done to the motor is a set of plugs last week. The transmission is a little clunky, especially when cold, but it shifts as good now as it ever did.
